The North London Derby is a match that will excite both set of fans but will certainly interest plenty of neutrals with European football at stake. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium sets the scene for what could be a decisive affair as both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal fight for Champions League football next season.
Spurs are the favourites ahead of this clash at 11/10 with Betfred while the Gunners are 23/10 and a draw is 5/2. Spurs are looking to win three successive home league games against Arsenal for the first time since August 1961.
Despite what the form table suggests, Spurs will be feeling confident going into this match knowing a defeat would almost end their Champions League hopes and a draw will mean results need to go their way to beat Arsenal. A draw at the weekend at Anfield and put a dent to Liverpool's chances of lifting the Premier League trophy would have served Antonio Conte well but now they must do one better by getting all three points at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A win for Arsenal will secure their return to Europe's top club competition for the first time in six years and leave Chelsea and Spurs to fight for the last place. Mikel Arteta's side go into this form with the better form with four successive league wins including wins against Manchester United, Chelsea and West Ham.

Players to watch
Wantaway striker Eddie Nketiah has rejected a number of contract extensions from Arsenal with regular playing time thought to be the reason behind the player's decision. He has only started in the last five league matches and has rewarded Arteta's side with four goals in that time with braces against Chelsea and former club Leeds United. Terrific form going into the derby.
If ever Harry Kane needs to find his goalscoring touch, this is it. Despite only picking up one goals in his last seven league matches, he has picked up five assists in that time so he is still very much involved in Conte's attacking plans. He does love a goal against Arsenal having scored 11 in his 16 North London Derby appearances in all competitions.
